    It's marked 9ct gold metal cored 20 microns, R and then a heart shaped mark with letters F and M in it, not sure what the R and heart means? I'm hoping it might help me date it.

    F and M made gold plated bangles....perhaps heavily gold plated?

    20 microns is more like rolled gold I would think

    Looks like a rolled gold mark anyway

    R probably stands for rolled

    Metal-core Gold jewellery is similar to Gold cased and rolled Gold, but is far thicker and more durable. For instance a bangle may be called "9ct Gold Metal Core" meaning that a thick shell of 9ct Gold is bonded to either a jeweller's alloy or base metal.

    Thank you @komokwa I didn't find this one when searching, none of the others I found had the same mark and the date estimates were a bit far flung. My guess was 1960s and it seems this seller agrees.
